Jamie, I love and miss you so much. Sometimes, just for a tiny second, I forget you are gone and start to send you something. Then my heart breaks and I remember that night. I know that you are still watching over me as you promised you would and I am privileged enough to watch over your family. They are amazing and their presence is the only thing that allows your absence to be tolerable. Say high to everyone. Until I see you again ...

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Life is full of seasons. there was a season in my life when Jamie and I were inseparable and even though we weren't always as close as we had been I still felt as if Jamie was one of my best friends. Any time we seen each other we could pick right up where we left off. I believe that I'm not alone but that I am one of the many that feel as if Jamie was one of their best friends during a season in their life and still to this day. Jamie had a way of making sure everybody felt important and loved for who they were and not who this world expected them to be. Jamie was not average, but rather extraordinary, he deserved to be President of something, I just always thought it would be our country, but I know he was just as proud to be President of his motorcycle club. As a husband and father of 3 kids and still having my Loving Mom and Dad myself, I now understand that the greatest season in Jamie's life was his last season. I don't believe that with Jamie's encouraging positive outlook on life that he would tell us this is our last season but rather this is a new season and to enjoy every moment with the ones that we love and cherish. I pray that you find comfort in these words. 2. Thessalonians 3:16. Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord bewith you all. Phillipians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Praying Sincerely,
Corey York

I worked with Jamie at Steele plastics for several years. I always knew to be kind hearted and a good friend. Even in the briefest conversations his love for his girls was obvious. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. God bless you all you are in my thoughts and prayers

My heart goes out to all the family. I remember him as my cousin's sweet, little red-haired freckled boy. He grew into a wonderful young man, husband, and father and made those lives he touched richer. I know that he will be forever missed.

Jamie Smith was one of my favorite people. He always had a smile on his face and I could always expect him to say "what's up, Action" every time we saw each other. We could go months without running into each other but when we would it was like we just saw each other yesterday. To Sam, the girls, and his parents - my heart breaks for you all. Jamie was something special and he touched the lives of all he came in contact with through his happy-go-lucky demeanor. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. God speed, Jamie.
